Zesty Paws Oatmeal Anti-Itch Dog Shampoo with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E, 16-oz bottle

Ordered this for my mini dachshund. He has sensitive skin and has allergies. He's quite itchy so I'd thought this would help him. Considering the reviews. But after we used this for the first time we noticed some of his hair fail out. He had some bald spots. Vet advised that it may be because if an ingredient that triggered a reaction. So unfortunately I had to stop using it.

I have a 9 year old Chihuahua mix with skin allergy issues. She takes medication to keep away any reactions but she still tends to itch quite a lot. I bought this shampoo in hopes it would help her irritated skin. It seems to have soothed it pretty well. She still itches but again she has skin allergies so I wasn't expecting it to completely eliminate her itching. Another thing I noticed is the smell. It truly got rid of any unpleasant smell she had on her. She is getting quite old so she tends to have a bit of an odor. Nothing crazy. This shampoo got rid of it. The reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because it's a bit pricey. Otherwise it was a great buy.

I ordered this along with the conditioner and I love everything about it! I have a border collie and he sheds and itches like crazy, he has multiple hot spots and is often seen with his whole knee in his mouth chomping away. I used this shampoo and conditioner set just once and have already seen so much of a change in Ace. His armpits where they were once red and itchy now seem to be visibly less irritated and he’s been paying no mind to them. I haven’t once seen him itch or bite at himself once since using this combo!! Not to mention it smells incredible and made his fur so so soft and silky!!! I will absolutely be ordering this again and I highly recommend it to everyone else with an itchy I ordered this along with the conditioner and I love everything about it!

I have a big dog so he requires a decent amount of shampoo and conditioner. I really wish this product came with the option of a larger bottle. Otherwise he smells great and he’s very soft! After the first wash he was softer, shiner and smelt great. He hasn’t itched since using it either.

So far this shampoo seems to be working. Maya doesn't seem to be scratching and licking like she was before I started using it on her.

Unfortunately this shampoo made my dogs itch more. My husband asked me what I washed them with because they were scratching more than usual. Won’t be using this again on them.

I bought the matching shampoo and conditioner for my itchy boxer. Works well and seems to help just wish there was a stronger fragrance. It has a very faint clean smell when you take the top off the bottle but not enough to make my dog smell like anything after her bath.

I had to use half a bottle of the shampoo on my 20 lb dog (who has dry skin due to the weather, which causes itching)... This stuff was so thick that I couldn't get it to mobe around the fur... I even tried diluting it and still couldn't. Trying to continuously poor more and more handfuls into my hand just to make sure all of my puppy's fur got soap in it, while she was trying to get out if the tub, made the bath suck for both of us. This stuff may as well have been a somewhere between silly puffy thickeness and gorilla glue thickness. I completely soaked my dog before applying and poured some down her back and could not get it into any of the other fur, so I tried pouring it into my hand and I had to use half a bottle of the shampoo on my 20 lb dog (who has dry skin due to the weather, which causes itching)...

I completely soaked my dog before applying and poured some down her back and could not get it into any of the other fur, so I tried pouring it into my hand and doing ut that way but the spot ut touched is the spot it stayed. And sure if you worked it enough,it would lather but the chemicals that cause lather are not the same as the cleaning products in soap, so you cant just take some bubbles and put them on a spot and expect that bubbly spot to be clean as well... I had to use over half of a bottle on a 20 lb Golden/Newfie mix pup. Considering this is one of the most expensive brands of anti-itch product, I am quite disappointed. I had at least hoped it would work. I bought both the shampoo and conditioner and used both and as soon as my puppy was dry she was itching again. She doesn't have fleas or even allergies... Literally just dry skin. - also, it did not make her coat shiny either but yes it did make it soft which is why I gave it the 2nd star... It made her soft and she didn't smell like a wet dog. I wouldn't buy this again or recommend it. Very disappointed. … more

I am so happy with my purchase. A very nice slight scent and my Dogs fur has never been so shiny. Will definitely continue to use this shampoo.

Lathered nicely and was easy to rinse. Nice scent, too. I will buy this product again.
